the Open Source components from Matt Mahomey's PAQ project (released
under GPL license), and offers the same GUI
frontend to
create,
browse, and extract *PAQ family archives under Windows
and Linux operating systems.<br>

            <br>
            <a name="paq_compression_utility"></a>*PAQ family features
extremely high
compression ratio, superior to LZMA, LZMA2, and PPMd compression
algorithms employed in 7Z, RAR, and ZIPX formats, but this comes at
cost of requiring more computing power.<br>
Please note PAQ and LPAQ requires the extractor executable being the
same version of the compressor which created the archive, PeaZip
supports PAQ8O and LPAQ8 out of the box, with other versions available
from <a href="peazip-add-ons.html#paq_compression">Additional formats
plugin</a> and many more syntax-compatible versions available on
original author's <a target="_blank" href="http://mattmahoney.net/dc/">PAQ
family project page<img title="PAQ project software"
 alt="PAQ data compression software" src="free-rar/extractor.png"
 style="border: 0px solid ; width: 12px; height: 10px;"></a><br>
ZPAQ, the most recent compressor of the family, is backward compatible,
so PeaZip can work as opener / extractor for zpaq files created with
different versions of the executable, and supports AES256 encryption,
incremental archiving and
journaling - especially useful when creating a backup.<br>
Zpaq is the default *paq family format executable for PeaZip and it
will be used as
example for explaining compression / decompression operations below.<br>
